Vincent “Rocco” Vargas is a special operations combat veteran, former Homeland Security Federal Agent, actor, writer, and producer.

During his 12 years of service, Vincent went on three combat deployments with the 2nd Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. After leaving active duty, he joined the Army Reserves as Sergeant First Class. In 2009, he became a Federal Agent with the Department of Homeland Security, where he worked extensively on the United States-Mexico border, serving as a medic with the Special Operations Group.

In an effort to help other veterans, Vincent founded Beteran, an apparel company where 50% of all proceeds go toward helping veterans seek treatment for trauma and transition back to civilian life.

As an actor, Vincent is known for his role as “Gilly” on Mayans MC, as well as in films including Range 15, Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace, and Dark of Light. Today, Vincent is the Head of Marketing at the security services firm The North Group.

His new book, Borderline: Defending the Home Front, will be released in November.
